com.day.cq.commons.PathInfo

All Implemented Interfaces:

RequestPathInfo

public class PathInfo
extends Object
implements RequestPathInfo

Utility class for creating a sling RequestPathInfo by parsing a URL path. Note that this does not check for the existence of the resource and finding the longest-matching path as the default Sling resource resolution does, it only works by parsing the raw string.

The parsing structure looks like this: /resource/path.selector.ext/suffix. The rules are (following the Sling convention):

• extension is everything between the last dot in the URL and the next slash (or the end of the string)
• suffix is everything after the extension (including the slash)
• resource path is everything from the start up to the first dot after the last slash (excluding extension and suffix)
• selectors are the dot-separated elements between the path and the extension

Constructor Details

PathInfo

public PathInfo(String urlPath)

Creates a RequestPathInfo by parsing the path part of a URL. This method does not support url path suffixes containing dots (".").

Parameters:

urlPath - the path part of a URL

PathInfo

public PathInfo(ResourceResolver resolver,
 String urlPath)

Create a RequestPathInfo object using the given ResourceResolver and urlPath. The resolver is used to map the underlying resource and reliably disassemble the urlPath into its segments.

Parameters:

resolver - The resource resolver.

urlPath - The url path.

Method Details

getResourcePath

public String getResourcePath()

Description copied from interface: RequestPathInfo

Return the "resource path" part of the URL, what comes before selectors, extension and suffix. This string is part of the request URL and need not be equal to the Resource.getPath(). Rather it is equal to the resolution path metadata property of the resource.

Specified by:

getResourcePath in interface RequestPathInfo

Returns:

The resource path

getSelectorString

public String getSelectorString()

Description copied from interface: RequestPathInfo

Returns the selectors decoded from the request URL as string. Returns null if the request has no selectors.

Decomposition of the request URL is defined in the Decomposition of a Request URL above.

Specified by:

getSelectorString in interface RequestPathInfo

Returns:

The selector string or null

See Also:

• RequestPathInfo.getSelectors()

getSelectors

public String[] getSelectors()

Description copied from interface: RequestPathInfo

Returns the selectors decoded from the request URL as an array of strings. This array is derived from the selector string by splitting the string on dots. Returns an empty array if the request has no selectors.

Decomposition of the request URL is defined in the Decomposition of a Request URL above.

Specified by:

getSelectors in interface RequestPathInfo

Returns:

An array of selectors

See Also:

• RequestPathInfo.getSelectorString()

getExtension

public String getExtension()

Description copied from interface: RequestPathInfo

Returns the extension from the URL or null if the request URL does not contain an extension.

Decomposition of the request URL is defined in the Decomposition of a Request URL above.

Specified by:

getExtension in interface RequestPathInfo

Returns:

The extension from the request URL.

getSuffix

public String getSuffix()

Description copied from interface: RequestPathInfo

Returns the suffix part of the URL or null if the request URL does not contain a suffix.

Decomposition of the request URL is defined in the Decomposition of a Request URL above.

Specified by:

getSuffix in interface RequestPathInfo

Returns:

The suffix part of the request URL.

getSuffixResource

public Resource getSuffixResource()

Description copied from interface: RequestPathInfo

Returns the resource addressed by the suffix or null if the request does not have a suffix or the suffix does not address an accessible resource.

The suffix is expected to be the absolute path to the resource suitable as an argument to the ResourceResolver.getResource(String) method.

Specified by:

getSuffixResource in interface RequestPathInfo

Returns:

The suffix resource or null.
